Holy crap I completely forgot I attempted to download the entire Unus Annus channel right before it got deleted. I just found an old hard drive in my desk I forgot I even had, and like - dude. I have no idea how many videos are on here but it HAS to be in the triple digits, including thumbnails. This is friggin' insane.

#unus annus #markiplier #crankgameplays #also I realize that goes against the entire purpose of the channel #I know that #I don't really remember trying to download these in the first place so I can't tell you where the motivation came from #I only saw like two videos back then because a lot of them dealt with some existential topics and I can't handle that kind of thing usually #so maybe I had fomo regret at the time - who can say? #I don't intend to share them on YouTube or anything like that because I know Mark and Ethan didn't want that #I just think it's bonkers that I have a partial archive of something that no longer exists on the internet #this is the coolest thing I ever forgot I did #ADHD is a trip man

I am never not thinking about Renji giving people rides on Hihiou Zabimaru, but somehow I forgot about the time Rukia used a Hakuren to launch Kon into the air during the kemari episode.

Reader, she was not sorry.

Unfortunately he started to go out of bounds, so Tessai felt it necessary to shoot him down with a Bakudou #99, p2.

I cannot emphasize enough that this was for a game of kemari to resolve some vague beef Rurichiyo and Kenryuu were having, there were literally no stakes whatsoever to everyone else, who just showed up and chose violence.

#rukia kuchiki #kon #bleach filler #all of the best bleach filler episodes are just ichigo trying to have a normal one while his friends have no chill whatsoever #kon only wanted to be on kenryuu's team so he could play with rukia this is so sad alexa play despacito #i almost posted this as a video #because they are playing 'senna' during this entire bit which is one of the best and most intense pieces of bleach fight ost #also there's a bit where orihime shields ichigo and he yells “THANK YOU INOUE” in exactly the way he yelled “THANK YOU CHAD” that time #but that was getting out of the scope of this post #it was so cute tho #renji and/or hitsugaya should have been in this episode i will never shut up about it #IKKAKU showed up a some point there is no reason we couldn't have had one if not both of our best soccer bros #i tell you rukia is constantly trying to steal renji's moves this is just like the time she blew herself up in the zan rebellion arc #i am sure he approves and supports her in this #it looks cooler when she does them anyway #maybe renji's entire bit is just test-ballooning Stunts for rukia so she doesn't have to embarrass herself on the ones that turn out lame #get you a man etc etc

i have been enabled to be autistic about emesis blue so i will now study the first scene that absolutely killed me and one of my personal favorites in regards to cinematography

(screen recording so you can watch it first)

are you ready? let's go!

the phone call ends and we are overwhelmed by an unnerving silence. a clock in the room amplifies the sense of dread. it's beat feeling almost like a heart, while also grounding the scene on real time

the static guides us as scout turns his head to look at something off screen. the shot positions him in a clear comparison with the pawn on the chess board, the only blue piece surrounded by unlit red ones on and off the board. it is between the queen and king implying the lack of importance and agency he has. we can appreciate a triangular composition based on these pieces and scouts face, leading the eye of the viewer towards the aforementioned pawn. a couple of rocks help cementing the effect by filling in the negative space left in between scouts face and the pawn, while also adding to the idea that the blue figure being surrounded, as they stand parallel to the other red pieces

he sees something and we switch camera so we can see what he spotted. someone starts whitelisting hall of the mountain king

despite being able to see him, we are in an angle that alludes to scouts pov. the light cast by the lap burns his face making us ignore his features and guiding us directly to where his mother's face is peaking in front of the window, surrounding her by darkness. as we keep hearing the song, it builds up tension like winding a jackbox, becoming uncanny as it suddenly cuts to come back again like a record player getting momentarily stuck.

scout watches as her head drops when an off screen figure drops it. when it hits the floor the whistling ends breaking the tension to then pan to the left side of the room where we see the shadow made by an intruder wielding a blunt object

the clock stops ticking while we can see the figure standing on screen, on a first watch, our eyes will focus on the shadow as it is situated withing the only well lit area on screen, being also the place we are led to by the panning.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

this scene builds up tension in a way that misdirects the viewer to explore the uncomfortableness and terror of being frozen in place (fight/flight/freeze/fawn). we know something is wrong and therefore, something is about to happen. so we expectantly wait, unable to do anything about it. then, as it is about to end, we are made aware that the danger we were waiting for, had been creeping up towards us, out of our sight while we were staring the opposite way. this entire movie is incredibly crafted, but as a fan of cinema and a fan of horror, this scene is my favorite.

(thanks @hydepotions for giving me an excuse to be a little more autistic than usual)

youtube stop recommending me that five hour long “fall of doctor who” video challenge. there is not a video i could be less interested in watching.

#the youtube clickbait hyperbole is not doing it any favors. im sure there’s nuance in the video. maybe. #god there must be its five hours long. #but i do not think i am interested in a video that wants to be about ‘the fall’ of doctor who when. far as i can tell. seems more like #occasionally it stumbles. and that’s about it. #AND thirteen being the doctor that’s on the thumbnail is also not helping. im sure im making assumptions there too and its just that she was #the current doctor at the time but. this is youtube. you have a negative video. and you put a woman on there. i am primed to believe you are #about to say something insanely sexist lmao. #anyway. whatever. #its a me thing. i dont like watching negative epic teardowns™️ of stuff im not finished with myself. and doubly so when im unfamiliar with #the creator and don’t know if they’ll just be stomping and yelling at something for hours with no purpose or if they’ve got. anything #to actually offer. idk. it’s the shovelware lover in me i think. im not interested in someone’s negative opinion about a thing unless i know #they’re the kind of person who can respect that people still had to put months or years of work into it. maybe that work did not have a #good outcome but someone had to do it. the effort is worth being documented and looked at and not. i don’t know. yelled at like you’re the #nostalgia critic you know? im rambling on to much here #this is why the only good youtube video is folding idea’s video on the american tail video game. he gets it. its about how bad art is still #worth existing and being examined. and doctor who is far from being bad. so. #………..where was i going with this. its 4 am.

recently, i’ve been thinking about what a 100% social link/confidant run is like from the perspective of the persona protagonists, rather than the player. i’ve always been a sucker for thinking about the type of narrative created by a person’s gameplay choices (it can be so fun and deep) so!! i wrote this analysis / musing.

some notes before we start: this was written with the lens of persona 3 being the most recent game i played- but the concepts are applicable to the p4/p5 protagonists as well! no spoilers for any of the games are mentioned; this is moreso a general discussion of ludonarrative dissonance with the game mechanics and narrative and how it makes for fun angst (ft. personal interpretation).

(more under the cut!)

the framework: game mechanics

in all of the games, the social link system’s existence coincides with the social stats mechanic. certain social links require a specific set of stats in order to initiate it, or surpass a certain rank. each game has around 20 of these- each of which represent the major arcana (+ some bonuses, e.g. aeon / jester / faith / councilor).

for any players going for a 100% social link run, this basically requires each social stat to be maxed out. anyone who’s followed a guide for a 100% run would know that the beginning of the game tends to be very “strict” with how time can be used, most of which involves getting the stats raised  as soon as possible.

outside of characterization and worldbuilding, completing social links are incentivized for a variety of gameplay reasons. so how could this completionist play style affect the protagonists?

prioritizing social stats over everything else: a general view

regardless of which protagonist you want to put under a petri dish, with a 100% run, you’re essentially asking the protagonist to form amicable bonds with 20 or so people, give or take. granted, not everyone becomes adjoined to the hip to the protagonist.

personally, i feel that forming 20 different bonds over the course of a year would be rather strenuous. during these 100% runs, the protagonists may feel that they’re spreading themselves thin trying to dedicate their resources to multiple different people as well as raising their “social stats.” i find the implications that this has on said bonds is so, utterly fascinating.

while this isn’t reflected in the game and would be better represented within a fic, i find it difficult to believe that this type of behavior doesn’t have any ramifications on the quality of the protagonist’s closer relationships (or their self-image, for that matter).

just… imagine calling one of your close friends but then they consistently give responses along the lines of “lmao sorry i’m busy doing other things,” and they rarely make the time of day for you. how would you feel? gameplay-wise, this deterioration of the relationship is best represented in persona 3 with social links reversing if you haven’t spent time with them in awhile.

part of my fascination with this concept is influenced by my own experiences. trying to maintain so many relationships can be difficult to keep up with and it quickly gets overwhelming (see dunbar’s number for more information). jumping between so many people also makes it difficult to focus on a few relationships meaningfully- meaning that relationships may be limited to being simple pleasantries. even then, ‘successfully’ keeping every relationship satisfying comes at the cost of being unable to pursue your own development and interests.

overall, i think that trying to do so many things ends up lowering the quality of the relationship(s) involved, especially when you also consider the fatigue from going to school as well as fighting shadows.

playing the therapist friend / listening role: a general view

another aspect of the 100% run that i think about is how the protagonists rarely open up to other people. a good chunk of SLs follow a storyline of the protagonist acting as a therapist friend/helping the other person through one central issue. some SLs are an exception to this and have a more casual “we’re just hanging out vibe.”

basically, SLs tend to be weighted toward the other character’s growth, moreso than the protagonist’s (which is handled by the main story). that said, the idea of mostly playing a listening role across most of your relationships and not having many that you feel comfortable to speak freely about your own stuff… feels really unbalanced and unhealthy?

i do think that part of the lack of “input” can be attributed to the silent-protagonist approach taken in the games (which is a whole ‘nother topic). but!! i find that each protagonist’s options, while limited, are fun to think about! some of the traits and interpretations i’ve seen for the differing protags, to name a few, include:

being afraid to open up / get attached and keeping people at arm’s distance as a result

needing to be around other people, even if it’s just listening them, to distract from their own struggles / pretend nothing’s wrong with them

enjoying helping others, being a good and careful listener who can provide an appropriate and helpful response

the willingness to prioritize others over themselves; a lack of self-preservation

compulsive people pleasing

at its worst, the lack of “protagonist talking” or equal reciprocation in response could be misinterpreted by the other person as disinterest (like they’re talking to a wall). alternatively- the lack of “personal tidbits” could be taken as, “you don’t trust me enough to be able to open up, huh.” and i just think that seeing this in a fic would be the biggest shitshow ever (and i would read that).

concluding thoughts:

overall, i feel that the protagonists taking a predominantly listening approach to several relationships at once can lead to compassion fatigue and general burnout. the protagonists are rarely at the receiving end of being listened to and/or having their issues worked through… and that’s kind of sad?

while the 100% social link run can provide great power to any persona fusions (and other cool battle abilities + hijinks)... i ultimately think that there’d be a lot of mental strain that would make achieving this much more difficult when you take a narrative-emphasized approach.

i do realize that it is possible to see the general vibe of this post as “100% social link is bad,” but like… there’s something i find really appealing about the messiness of attempting to manage so many relations at once- only to fall short in several of them and attempting to salvage the last bits of their sanity. when you think about the complications of the 100% SL run from the shoes of the protagonist… yeah!! that’s the good shit!

anyways! if anyone knows of any fics with this kinda vibe for the p3/4/5 protags… feel free to drop it in my askbox… i like them all VERY much :3c… and if this raised any food for thought- i’d be equally honored! let the protags go through shit i wanna see their emotions and coping mechanisms damn it! 👏

#persona 3 #persona 4 #persona 5 #yes it is 3am and im posting this. i couldn't sleep so i wanted to write something that i've been thinking abt as of late :x #highly recommend looking up ludonarrative dissonance btw! if ur interested in game storywriting its SOO interesting bc its definitely- #an occurence that happens every now and then in a video game. persona included. like.. when game mechanics tell one story but the narrative #-ends up contradicting that (or some other thing in reality ends up doing that...). does that even make sense?? #i tried to keep this post general to p3/4/5 but if you know me well enough you'll see how my p3 bias has shaped this post. lmao #i also could go on a tangent about how i feel about orpheus telos as a thing w/rt p3 social links BUT I WONT. unless...? #i have more i want to say on the topic (maybe will do so at a later time) but feel free to ask for more specific hcs with the protags? #maybe not p4kun though just bc ive only watched p4 so i havent had the time to let it sit btwn play sessions #anyway bye im just going to let this float in the void while i sleep. have a good day #meta #hc and au nonsense #lizzy speaks

dunk saying he's never met anyone who likes hugging as much as joong does is making me laugh really hard as a very touchy-feely person myself bc like yeah. dunk has clearly never met me (and that's probably a good thing dfkkjdfkjd)

#no for real tho i'll be looking for any possible excuse to go get another hug from my friends #sometimes in my friend groups i'll go for a second goodbye hug once everyone else is done saying goodbye #everyone will be like ''but you've already hugged this person goodbye??'' and i'll be like ''SO??? CAN'T I GET ANOTHER HUG??? 😭'' #sometimes i don't even look for excuses to hug my friends sometimes i'll just straight up walk up to them and hug them out of the blue #it's worse when i'm really tired #i can't tell you the amound of times i've heard ''awww is airenyah tired again??'' on days i am really affectionate... kskfkgfd #anyway no i get it. i get joong #maybe that's why i enjoy them as a pair so much bc i just feel really represented lmaooo #airenyah plappert #joongdunk #รถทาเลนท์ #we have guests coming over in 5 mins and i'm only 4mins into the video oops #looks like i won't make it to the end of the show before the doorbell rings kjkjdf #i feel a strong urge to go hug my mom now ngl #also!! only the other day i sent my friend a message that went #''can i come over for a hug in the new year? 🥺'' #(my friend said yes 💃🏻) #(i don't even need to hang out with him tbh i'm happy to just show up at his door squeeze him for 5mins straight and leave again lol)

i really want to start making a table collecting statistics on the audience demographics i'll perform my aubrey material for (like what generation most of the audience is, whether i'm performing in a predominantly queer space, etc.) and how well the jokes land bc like. i need to collect more data points before i can properly present my findings but the results so far have been fascinating

#again i do not have enough performance experiences to make any definitive claims about who ''aubery's audience'' is #but i find it funny that any time i show my aubrey material one-on-one to a queer gen z person #they're always like ''i love it but straight people will definitely hate it or not get it'' #and i get the inclination to be like. ''i like this thing so people like me will like this thing'' #and cishet society seems so polarized w/r/t queer topics it's like. the assumption makes sense #however. whenever i've done an aubrey performance in front of an audience that's predominantly queer and gen z #i've actually received a primarily negative response!! and somehow straight people have never given me shit for my aubrey material #(''well straight allys don't count'' i told some of my aubrey jokes to a joe rogan dudebro and he enjoyed them) #(which yeah maybe could be a mark against my comedy but i like to think i opened his mind a bit at the very least) #i really want to test my aubrey monologues in front of a primarily gen x/boomer audience #bc so far i only have actual performance experience in front of gen z or millennials #and the older people i've told jokes to individually or shown videos of my stuff have really liked it #luckily paul has said a goal for when i'm in town this summer is to get me to perform my aubrey stuff in as many different places as possib #for both queer audiences and non-queer audiences so i can gauge reactions since i don't want to be confined to one demographic #so i'll get a lot of data points this summer #@ paul get me a performing slot at senior citizen pride lmao these are my people #(shoutout to paul going ''jess stop collecting the old homos!'' last time i was in town) #(and when i imitated him and was like ''old gay men are not your pokemon!'' bellini was like ''ok but they may be your audience'') #also one data point i really want to see the variation on is how my one specific joke plays in these different demographics #bc i have a joke that like. it's literally not even about AIDS and doesn't punch down at all #i literally say ''if you're gay and over the age of 50 you could violate the geneva convention and i'd still be like support our troops'' #like obviously being like ''you have been through hell so i will let you get away with literal war crimes you deserve ultimate immunity'' #BUT. in the line right before the quote i use the phrase ''AIDS generation'' not as a derogatory term but being like. #this horrible thing impacted the entire generation y'know? and bellini and scott and their friends call themselves that it's just the term #but when i said the phrase ''AIDS generation'' in front of my gen z audience i heard gasps and felt like they all hated me #and when i did the same line in front of millennials it wasn't quite as striking but their eyes did widen #like i was suddenly an ''edgy comedian''. but like this is a part of our history and it does inform the story i'm telling #the story i'm telling is comedic but it's grounded in this real world context #and i'm like. @ the audience who was offended: when was the last time any of y'all spoke to a gay man over the age of 50 #bc bellini loves that section of the monologue and was offended that people would even take offense to that phrase

a few days ago i had the epiphany of like, okay, i’m not kidding anybody here and the only people disagreeing with me are figments of past people who float around in my head. i have BPD. and it would take a major fucking overhaul of my entire life and the way that i have operated for seventeen years to say any different. so instead of me saying BPD with fifteen asterisks specifying i am not technically sure and this is medically recognized but not professionally diagnosed etc etc let me just say i have it.

and then now i’m like oh God but what if i don’t have it

#nightmare.personal #like at this point i think the only thing that would convince me is to have a professional say it #but my therapist literally will not diagnose me (for several reasons which are all incredibly valid) and i am not seeing another person #like i am lucky enough that i have a therapist that i can scream at for a session and then the next time talk about my last date or whatever #i don't want to have this label put on me because that's going to fuck up so much about my life #but i am literally never going to be able to get rid of that doubt that's telling me nobody thinks you have BPD you're lying to yourself #and it's like! that's not unreasonable for people to think! i know that i'm 17 and that's young for a diagnosis! #and maybe i'm biased because people have told me to look into BPD because of my behaviors since i was 13 #but i've watched testimonial videos and spent hours in forums and talked to people diagnosed with BPD and read articles about it #and i've studied the symptoms like the back of my fucking hand and i've tracked my behaviors and i've done EVERYTHING #and i've considered EVERY other option i've considered: autism ptsd bipolar adhd. to name a few #and NONE of them explained this the ONLY thing that makes sense is bpd #not even other personality disorders explain it it's just this one #and i know people think that you shouldn't seek labels but. i have been looking for a community for so long #and now i think i have one. but i still feel like i don't actually have it #and that everyone thinks i'm lying but just isn't saying anything yet

i'm getting to the point where i'm going to have to start shooting my thesis film and the idea of shooting in an office rental instead of in my apartment is growing more and more attractive by the day

#speak friend and enter #my apartment is SO small. my room would be a good shooting space bc of all the soft surfaces = good sound quality but it's just so small #i *might* be able to finagle my tripod in such a way as to get decent footage of myself if i sit on my bed but i'd only get like. one angle #it's just a video essay so i really only need a talking head pov and the rest is b roll #but the issues with shooting here are 1) space as mentioned and 2) my roommates are loud #well. one of my roommates is loud. and she hangs out right outside my room and talks on the phone all day #so working around that (and the fact that she brings people over all the time) will be frustrating i can already tell #but the sound and light quality in a rented space might also be shite. and idk if the wework people will let me bring in/set up my own ligh #idk i've never rented a coworking space before. but it's not too expensive so it could be doable #i think i might rent a space and check it out; maybe get some test footage and audio and then see if it'll work or not

ppl responding “remember” to comments/commenting it on videos someone made in 2020/2021 in a pathetic attempt to make the person who initially made the comment/video ashamed bc anything done in that time period is automatically deemed cringe is so fucking annoying. what if those ppl got hobbies that didn’t include trying to shame others for enjoying things.

GET A HOBBY AND GET OFF OF TIKTOK. #like. i really only use the app for ppl like. hank green and keondra. and yuval and also cosplayers. so a lot of the comments i make r #generic omg this is so cool :) & it’s so annoying getting comments like that #not only bc of the implied. lmao remember commenting cringe shit like this. but it also implies the video it’s under is cringe #AND maybe. i regret some of the wording of some comments i’ve made in the past. maybe there ARE videos that i see and go. yikes. why did i #like and save this. but also like. who cares. why is this important. why r u spending ur free time bothering strangers over what YOU think #is shameful? #idk. i don’t like it. #i don’t know if it’s better to just ignore them or respond but i’ve been telling them that i do remember and i stand by it #ANYWAYSSS lol i should’ve expected this bc it’s tik tok but. i inherently believe that most ppl aren’t actively trying to make others feel #bad. lol.
